Kinematic Diagram: Since link AB is rotating about fixed point A, then vB is always
directed perpendicular to link AB and its magnitude is vB = vAB rAB = 2vAB. At
the instant shown, vB is directed towards the negative y axis. Also, block C is moving
downward vertically due to the constraint of the guide. Then vc is directed toward
negative y axis.
Velocity Equation: Here, rC>A = {3 cos 30°i + 3 sin 30°j} ft = {2.598i + 1.50j} ft.
Applying Eq. 16–16, we have
vC = vB + vBC * rC>B

General Plane Motion: By referring to the kinematic diagram of link BC shown in
Fig. c and applying the relative velocity equation, we have
- 1.8i = - 0.5196vCD i + 0.3vCD j + (vBC k) * (- 1.5i)
-1.8i = - 0.5196vCD i + (0.3vCD - 1.5vBC)j
Equating the i and j components
- 1.8 = - 0.5196vCD
